Home is the Sailor
Homecomings call for clemency and memory that is short,
for when a sailor comes back home to his favorite port,
he doesn’t like returning to atone for past mistakes.
He’d rather do his penance for the new ones that he makes.
This isn’t any riddle, no mystery is involved.
It’s simply that some other bad habits have evolved.
He finds he cannot take the time to mend what he’s forgotten
when he has so many other newer habits ill-begotten.
The prompt words today are homecoming, clemency and riddle.

Did you think I wrote this apologia expressly for you, Dangerspouse? Not to mention the one in defense of childlike behavior?

That’s why I like to pet her! And feed her carrots, too.
Huh, I have to say I have no idea why you can’t post comments there. I know others have been able to. That’s really odd!
